The White Sox placed infielder Angel Sanchez on waivers Thursday, according to CBSSports.com Baseball Insider Jon Heyman. Since he is a Rule 5 pick, Sanchez will be offered back to the Angels, if he goes unclaimed.

Sanchez played in one game for Chicago this season before being placed on the disabled list with a strained lower back.

White Sox infielder Angel Sanchez has gone 1 for 5 in his first two minor-league rehab appearances at Triple-A Charlotte. He has been on the disabled list since April 10 with a strained lower back, and it is not clear when he will be capable of returning.
